What are the forum rules?

How do I use colors in a forum post?

You can use colors by using the [color] tag. You can specify a common English name color, like "red" or "blue", or you can specify a RGB (Red Green Blue) character code like #000000 (black) and #FFFFFF (white).

In a forum post, how do I quickly link to a series, mangaka, or scanlation group?

Here at MangaUpdates, we support several special BBCode tags not found elsewhere.

For MangaYou may do so by using the [m] tag. The [m] tag tries to find the series in our database. If it does, it will replace the series name with a link to the series page. The series name must match either the main name of a series or one of the associated names, or else this tag will not work (does not need to be capitalized the same way).

For Mangaka/AuthorsThis works the same as the manga tag, except by mangaka/author name. The tag used for this is the [a] tag. As with manga, the mangaka/author name you write must match one that exists in our database. The name does not need to be capitalized the same way as in the database.

For Scanlation GroupsAs with the manga or mangaka/author tag, we even have a special tag for scanlation groups (although used less often). The tag used is the [g] tag. Again, the group needs to exist in our database and capitalization does not matter.

I noticed that someone on the forums is being a complete *****. What do I do?

One thing you can try doing is reporting his/her post. Near the upper right of the post, there is a link titled "Report". This will allow you to report a specific post to the admins. Please also give a specific reason why you think admin action will be necessary.

We will look at the report and act accordingly. If you have a more pressing concern, you are free to PM any of the admins. We'll be happy to consider your issue.

I found a post/comment containing spoilers or offensive language. What should I do?

Please use the "Report Post" feature by clicking on the "Report" link near the upper right of the post. Insert a reason and submit the form. An admin will take care of it as soon as possible.

If it is as series comment in question, you will need to fill out the Change Request form which you can find in your User CP or by clicking here. Please tell us the name of the series where the comment was made, the username of the person who made the comment, and why you believe admin action needs to be taken for that comment.

What does subscribing to a forum thread do?

Sometimes, you wish to keep track of where a forum thread goes. Because they are ordered by the date of the last post, it may be hard to find a certain thread you are looking for. To subscribe to a thread, simply click the "Subscribe to this topic" button at the top of that thread. You can find all subscribed threads in your User CP.

Can I upload pictures to the forum?

To post a image on a forum post, you need to specify the URL for the image and then add the [img] bbcode. An example is as follows:[ img ]http://www.yourdomain.com/image.jpg[ /img ] (without the spaces)
